Quote:Why wait when you know the fate?

 

Say you're in a relationship with a woman. You know you it's not going to work out. Do you wait until the end of the year to do it or just do it when you know? You have no idea if the next relationship will be good or not but you know this one doesn't work for you.

 

I understand that there are emotions in this sport but I also know that the players understand it's a business. 

 

Stop with the feelings. Who cares about them. Winning is all that matters and if Gus is fired, it's because he can't win with this team and it's the next man up.

I love these dissimilar analogies. My take on emotion has to do with play on the field by the players not empathy towards hiring or firing. So my point is whether it is business or not, emotion will impact the team moving forward and if there is no real gain, then what is the point? I don't disagree with you as much as you may believe. It is a performance based business and the HC is measured by W/Ls, but if the reality is there is no real change if he is fired mid-season. Once again, same scheme, same players, and the same assistants remain. Gus is gone, but the footprint stays. This is reality until a new HC is hired in the off-season.

 

I'll leave it at that. We both agree he should be gone, it's just we have different opinions on timing. I honestly don't care when, just that he needs to move along.
